Delicacy?


[BBC.]

I chose to post this video because of the interesting title; I couldn't imagine eating a spider, let alone touching one! This video showcases the fact that different regions and cultures have a different view of what is a delicacy. The native Cambodian seemed to enjoy the spider, but the tourist obviously found it unappetizing and not worth the price of trying to choke it down.

This video shows that the culture of Cambodia allows for a very "natural" approach to acquiring food; they will eat what is available, just as other cultures do with their tastes. It is based (basically) on the concept of supply and demand.
